   Oh right, yeah that would be annoying. I just tend to future proof my numbers by having a leading zero so when I store some with a number like 3 or .5 I go 03 or .03 and it helps keep things in order. I take it a little extreme with my own videos with how I keep them on my system. I tend to have a few leading zeros. If I feel it will get to double digits I have two leading zeros and triple digit potential gets three leading zeros. this generally makes sure my stuff doesn't get reordered even if it gets up there.

LazyCat might have been a troll but he ended up being right about a few things.  The kickstarter was 6 months ago and they still haven't finished the few features it was supposed to pay for.

[Moogie]

I always thought he made some valid points (if true), just in a really, really shitty way that did him absolutely no favours, and did not encourage open discussion about the issue. If he really wanted answers and accountability, there's better ways to get them. And far better ways to rally others behind the same reasoning.

That said, I've never seen any rebuttals to his claims. Just the spiel about ignoring him because he's a troll and a bad person. Well, we can all agree that he's a raving lunatic, but that doesn't necessarily make him wrong...

[Sixteen]

I assumed it's because it was discussed when he first started, before everyone realized there was no point in answering him again if there was absolutely no way it would solve anything. It's not so much as a spiel so much as a copy-paste policy just for him, and I'm pretty sure if anyone else asked, there would be actual responses. I don't know enough about it to give you one, but probably someone else will.

   The problem with him didn't actually start here but on the cataclysm forum so he never wasn't a troll while on this thread. He was kicked out of there first and then decided to troll us here as well. He might have had a few valid questions mixed in but he was always trolling so trying to answer him (some did) was only met with more trolling. If you have any specific questions that can have a proper answer I am sure someone will have the correct answer. I can't remember any of his vitriol as it mostly focused on why CataDDA was so much worse then his mod of it and how the modders where scamming the kickstarter backers.

Bottom line, regardless of accuracy of anything he said: bringing drama onto someone else's forum is a dick move. Insulting users of said forum is a dick move. End-running around forum policies is a dick move. Things would have been very different pretty much anywhere if he'd had one grain of courtesy and common sense.

Also, it's not like one day he discovered Cata's developers actions and took it upon himself to inform everyone. He just has a shtick, he creates a shoddy knockoff of a programming project and rages against the original's creators. Yep, he'd gone through doing that more than once.

Where is the guy we kick started though?

With the fishes.

Seaworld!

Yessss.

HUHHH, CAN I JOIIIN!? :o

[lastplaneout]

Just got started with this thing. Do you all consider static spawn or dynamic spawn to be the canonical play mode?

[wer6]

I like static, but Dynamic can be good too.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   The original mode was dynamic but the default was changed to static a while ago. Most people agree that with static zombie spawns you get an actual feel of clearing a town unlike dynamic where as long as there was zombies in the pool more could spawn anywhere in a town. Mind you animals and such still use dynamic spawning so this is only for zombies. Also various other monsters have their own special spawning stuff which generally involves a place which cause more to continual refill a pool of them. Anyway to directly answer the question static is the canonical play mode for CataDDA. Basically the canon is default right now for any game settings.

It's kinda creepy (and horribly bad luck too) as this is the second dev who appears to have just disappeared off the face of the earth, including from phone calls, email, etc. (I know with the first we even tried to contact him through his family, and they hadn't heard from him for a while either. ) It's like someone is hunting down our devs and kidnapping them.

That said Galen at least did do most of the work he was paid for, only leaving behind the last bit of the mod manager and z-levels (which sadly was one of our most difficult/looked for features). That said we do still have around 2000-some odd dollars left behind, so GlyphGryph is looking into some other things we could do with it towards the kickstarter goals, such as a potential bounty system for completing given challenges.

[wer6]

maybe assassins.
